Maintenance, Operations and Transportation Department (MOT)

Transportation

The Lakeport Unified School District transportation staff consists of nine bus drivers, a fleet mechanic, and two state certified school bus driver instructors, all of whom have received state-mandated training and testing and are well-trained professionals. These people constantly maintain their professionalism and readiness to support the students that they come in contact with daily. They are the first to meet the students and the last ones to say good-bye at the end of the day.

Solar Power Production

Summary of the Solar Production Project

The Lakeport Unified School District is expected to cut its annual electric bill by 33 percent and save more than $2 million over the next two decades thanks to a new solar project completed in November 2013.

Lakeport Unified has entered into an agreement with SolarCity to power three schools and the district office with renewable energy.

The district paid nothing up front under its 20-year power purchase agreement with SolarCity, a leading provider of clean energy that has installed more than 2,400 solar panels totaling 582 kilowatts of solar power at the four district facilities.

The solar systems are expected to save the district roughly $60,000 in their first year alone, and reduce the district’s carbon emissions by nearly 17 million pounds over the 20-year contract term, which is equivalent to planting 729,000 trees.

Pictured above is the solar panel array overlooking the Clear Lake High School field. This array produces power for Terrace Middle School (lower campus).
